During the Consensus 2025 event, the Executive Director at the White House’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets Bo Hines answered several key questions about the U.S. government’s strategy regarding digital assets, and Bitcoin in particular.
U.S. government seeks ways to buy more Bitcoin
Among them, Hines dropped a message that is crucial for the crypto community to hear – the U.S. government, he said, holds Bitcoin and is definitely not selling it. Besides, the White House is looking for ways to accumulate more BTC without placing any additional burden on American taxpayers, as he stated earlier this year.

However, “Bitcoin stands alone,” Hines stressed once again. He confirmed that his “colleagues up on the Hill” recognize how important the adoption of Bitcoin and crypto is for the U.S. and for the whole world. “We are talking about updating a very archaic payment rail that has existed for quite some time,” adding that the goal is to make payments in the U.S. and in the world much faster and a lot more cost-efficient than they were in the past.

Bitcoin to $1 million by 2028: Arthur Hayes
In a recent blog post, the former CEO of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, made a bullish Bitcoin price prediction. He expects BTC to rocket to the $1,000,000 level between now and 2028.
Hayes named two main reasons why he sees it happening. The first one will be foreign capital repatriation. The second one will be related to the devaluation of the gargantuan stock of U.S. treasuries. Before him, the author of the best-selling book on financial management “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki, predicted that Bitcoin would soar to $1 million by 2035.
